| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 03:07 PM PDT 40 pound loss About a year ago I moved to a new city by myself for my career. Since I would be on my own it would be easier to make life changes with food since I didnt have roomates. I initially had a diet of about ~1500 calories and around 200g of protein. I was hungry often since I wasn't that good in the kitchen yet. Over the last 9 months I have gotten better with food and making good food for 1600-1800 calories. I didnt have alot of variety in my diet at first. Pretty much high protein foods and eventually I got tired of chicken breast. About February I started to incorporate fruit in my diet and I felt alot better. My recovery and strength was faster than before. The past few weeks I have implemented veggies and that has worked wonders and I lost 10 pounds in about a few weeks. For my cardio the past few months has just been walking. I dont find the need to sprint or jog anymore as I'm no longer a college athlete. Walking an hour on full incline after my workouts have worked wonders. I am in pretty good shape as when I went swimming this week my heart rate was hardly above 140 which for me is just chilling on exercise. Im looking to lose about 10 more pounds and can't wait to post another picture whenever that is. Edit: a few people have asked me about my diet so ill put it here, also I'm 6': breakfast, I have oikos triple zero yogurt 510g with 2/3 cup nature valley granola (14g protein one). 100g each of raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and pineapple Lunch, I make french toast (find bread with low calories with most protein, i have found Dave's killers bread 100cal 5g protein) 1 cup egg whites with a dash of cinnamon, low calorie syrup. 100g spinach and asparagus Dinner, 2 cup egg whites. 100g of each: orange bell peppers, baby bella mushrooms and tomatoes. I watch Greg doucette for some inspiration on food. Gonna try pizza next. For me, I dont need alot of flavor on food so you may need vanilla on the French toast. This is less than 1800 calories [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:43 AM PDT 6 months ago, my BMI hit the obese mark and I was terrified. My confidence was at all time low. I struggled climbing up the stairs. I felt bloated and heavy. None of my nice clothes fit. I could tell that people were treating me differently to when I was thinner. I entered a vicious cycle of self pity and turning to nutritrionally appalling food to get a dopamine hit to feel better about this problem... for about 20 minutes. This morning, my BMI is 24.9, which, although barely, classifies my weight as healthy for my height. I have lost 16kg/35lbs since December. And I haven't binged at all in the last 3 months. It's been a rocky road, with slip ups, indulgences and plateaus. But consistency is key, and I have learned to jump right back in the next morning after an unintentionally large dinner or a few too many glasses of wine. These small failures no longer terrify me — they're not failures, they're reality. My "all or nothing" mindset has been put to rest. I've another 20-30lbs to lose. It'll take me longer, since my BMR is lower now, but that's totally fine, and I feel confident about achieving this goal. If I can do this, so can you! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:34 PM PDT First time poster, but a long time lurker. SW: 183 CW: 175 GW: 120 I'm 5'1" female and just turned 17. I was always a very skinny child because I was so picky, but when I hit puberty and life started getting stressful, I admittedly gained a lot of weight. I would stuff my face with cakes, ice-cream, mcdonalds, hot Cheetos and ramen at almost any chance I could get. My eating habits were always encouraged by family members (we're Italian, we love to eat) and I was rarely encouraged to eat healthfully unless my mom was on another one of those fad diets. From August 2018 to May of 2020 I had put on 26 lbs and I KNEW something had to change. I was no longer in just the end of the overweight bmi, I was now considered obese. Once quarantine hit, I started to slowly change my diet. Less fast food, more fruits and vegetables and took up working out. In mid april, I became serious about making a long lasting change and downloaded MFP and began to count calories (1400 a day with a deficit of 500 from my maintenance, perhaps a bit more from exercise although I'm not sure) alongside taking my dogs for longer walks and those Chloe Ting workouts everyone hypes up. I'm officially 8 lbs down from 183 lbs and now at 175! I still have a long way to go as my weight loss goal is 120 lbs but I'm so proud of myself. My size 13 shorts are now noticeably looser and I'm only a few pounds away from fitting into my size 11 ones again! I couldn't have done it without the people on this community motivating me with their weight loss stories everyday :) [link] [comments] |
| Over half way to my goal!! 180 lbs down! Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:35 AM PDT I started my journey in May of 2019 and have lost 180 lbs in just over 13 months. I'm down to the lowest I've weighed since my junior year of HS. Just went to the doctors and was ecstatic(and surprised) with how much I've lost. It's been really hard without gyms being open and having to do in home workouts. I've been on a low/no carb diet, intermittent fasting(16:8), and 90 minutes of cardio a day grind. I didn't think I could lose this weight without bariatric but I've been able to get the hard part down, there's no going back now. This years been extremely stressful(for everyone) and I couldn't be more proud of the work I've put in. That being said, I still got a long way to go!! SW: 550 CW: 370 GW: 200 [link] [comments] |
| [rant] hormones suck. being short sucks. being female sucks. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:27 AM PDT I started counting calories with my husband about 6 weeks ago, and also started getting my mileage up (I used to long distance run but always struggle over the winter, so the spring is always a bit of trying to ramp back up to those 5-10 mile runs that used to be so easy 40 pounds ago 🙄.) We we're doing so well— I've run shorter distances (2-4 miles) 5 times per week for nearly six weeks, kept under my calorie goal, and lost 5 pounds (which sounds super lame, but I swear I worked hard for those 5 pounds.) Cut to this week, and I continue to be frustrated by the anxiety, hormonal acne, cravings, and weight gain associated with my birth control. I had an OB/GYN visit, and we decide it might be worth it to switch to a copper IUD. I've kept running. I've kept my calories under 1300 (with the exception of one maintenance day). And my reward? Those super fun, constant cramps and back pain that accompany an IUD insertion; bloating that makes me look 6 months pregnant; and 8 pounds of weight gain. I know it's water weight, caused by hormone changes from dropping my hormonal birth control and pissing off my reproductive system by shoving some copper in there. But SERIOUSLY. Everything I've done for the past month and a half appears to have been completely erased, and I'm worse off than I began, in that I can't even wear pants now. :( All I want to do is eat ice cream and cry and hug my heating pad and pray that the constant pain will stop in the next several weeks. Instead I will chug some water, angrily wince for the duration of today's 3.5 mile run, and maybe eat a 100 calorie Italian ice later. 💀 edit: thanks for the support, fam! I didn't realize so many of us were riding the same struggle bus today! And for those interested, yes, my Italian ice was totally worth it. 10/10 would ice again. [link] [comments] |
| Why does food have so many calories? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:44 PM PDT Seriously, does anyone else look at their calories tracker and be like, "How the heck does that have so many calories?!?" It's like, oh, I'll have some eggs and toast with coffee for breakfast and end up with close to 500 calories eaten. Seriously? It's so little food for so many calories. And the worst part is, we get so few calories a day in order to lose a frigging ounce of weight, so it's a double whammy of misery. Even the stuff that's supposed to be healthier and lower in calories isn't THAT much better, but I guess when every calorie counts, it does help. I guess this is just a rant or I dunno, but it's been driving me crazy because it's like, I'm not eating cheeseburgers and chugging beer and eating what I figured was decently healthy. But if my only option is salad 3 times a day... I'm out. [link] [comments] |
| Was 190 lbs a year and a half ago (F, 27, 5`6) Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:01 PM PDT .. but I'm starting my "weight loss journey" now, at 155lbs. My goal is to get down to 135 through a slow burn CICO approach. I went from 190ish to 155 by pouring all I have into getting better mentally. Moved, dropped out of grad school, chose life and committed myself to proper psychiatric care, and focused on rediscovering who I am and what I enjoy. So here's to all of us struggling with depression, recurring depressions, or, like me, bipolar disorder (type 2). Or any other illness that kills joy and steals energy. I know how difficult it is. For some, their mental health get better as they lose weight. For me, that's not been the case. Whether I've been skinny or fat has never bettered or worsened any of my depressive episodes and I want others to know they're not alone. Take care of yourselves ❤️ And good luck to all and goodnight to me. [link] [comments] |
| Does anyone wish they could see future results in advance for motivation? [Plateau] Posted: 25 Jun 2020 01:36 PM PDT For context, I'm a 5'9 male who is currently 170 lbs and started at around 200 lbs about 3 months ago. I've reached a point where I'm putting in a lot of time into exercise and restricting myself a lot when it comes to diet, yet not seeing progress in dropping weight or fat% under 170 and 22%. At this point, I'm fairly content with my appearance and just wish I could see what I could look like a month or two down the line if I continue to work hard to motivate myself. I also like the amount of space I take up currently and am scared to lose more weight because I might lose muscle and/or not lose fat in places I would prefer too. I think I might lessen my restrictions and exercise a bit to make it easier and hope for the best with slower gains. Does anyone with previous experience with a plateau have tips to push through when you already feel like you're pushing yourself? tldr: Im motivated by seeing progress and now that the progress is slowing down significantly and I'm already pushing myself a lot, I seem to be losing the motivation [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 05:21 PM PDT First time post, have been lurking for what feels like forever... Truth be told for the past couple of months I (22F) cringed whenever this sub came up on my feed. I wasn't ready to admit to myself that all my hard work (losing 30lbs in roughly a year) has been lost in 4 months of depressed overeating. All the cute clothes I bought last summer, when I hit my goal weight of 145 lbs don't fit my 175 lbs frame anymore. All I have now are some of the 'before' clothes I hadn't thrown out yet. Especially because this was my first healthy non-obessive weight-loss journey, and this sub has been a massive help, it's been so hard to realize just how far I fell of the band wagon. But after finally feeling mentally stable again and having found the courage to confront myself... I AM STARTING AGAIN RIGHT NOW This is my first post on reddit ever so I'm kind of making a pledge to myself here :) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:28 PM PDT Nothing like putting on a bathing suit that's not only bigger than the one you wore last year but is also still too small on you and makes you look like a busted can of biscuits. 😞 I straight up do not understand why I'm not losing weight. Between 2018-2019 I lost 100lbs. This time last year I was 140lbs. Today I'm 175lbs. I gained eight between September- January. No biggie, everyone gains weight during the holidays right? I was eating holiday cookies and thanks to college stopped exercising. So I started back up again. I exercise 3-4 times a week (first at the gym and now at home. I have a treadmill, recumbent bike, and weights), I'm constantly moving all day doing things like cleaning, gardening, playing with the kids, etc to the point where 10k steps is a minimum amount I walk everyday now. My Fitbit keeps asking me to set my new step amount to 20k. I eat within a calorie deficit, measuring with a scale down to the ounce. I don't graze or snack on anything that isn't measured. I'm not really stressed. I get enough sleep every night. I even went to the doctor and test and scans from the doctor all indicate I'm well within normal range for everything. I'm not diabetic, my endocrine system is functioning normally, my vitamin, proteins, etc levels are within normal range (with the exception of Vitamin D JUST slightly under the normal limit), and my metabolism is functioning just fine. But I still gained 40lbs since last year and have been unable to lose any weight. I'm so frustrated and confused. I don't understand. Help??? What am I missing??? I've exhausted all my options at this point. [link] [comments] |
| I (m37) have lost 37 pounds since the end of March... 6' 0" SW 318(lbs) CW 281 GW 220 Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:55 AM PDT I'm not one to look for encouragement, where I really strive is accountability. This is my accountability post. Something I can look back on and see the difference, as small as they may be. Too many people around me are getting hurt from not taking care of themselves. Stokes (including my own scare), knee surgeries, diabetes, etc. I'm done making excuses to not take care of myself. I've been following CICO with intermittent success and mostly failure for the last 2ish years. I finally have it under control and started weight training and full body exercise regiments, loosing 37 pounds since late March with a recent focus on strength training. My wife can comfortably wrap her arms around me again when she could barely do so before. Running up the stairs is easier. Playing with my dogs is easier. The initial hunger shock of no longer eating over 3000 calories a day has faded. (I'm just not as hungry anymore) Bad habits engrained in me since I was a small child are starting to flounder and be replaced. Learning good habits when you have to unlearn engrained contradictory habits is probably the hardest part? I've got a long way to go and a lifetime (hopefully) of maintenance to pursue, but I can do it ... [link] [comments] |
| Medium build Asian female - still obese to my mom, other family members and friends. Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:55 PM PDT I am 5"5 - I was 117lbs and am now 145lbs. I beat anorexia and am completely fked metabolically. I used to eat 500 calories or less a day for about 7 years and now I'm honestly just eating normally but gained weight in the last year or so due to work changes etc etc.. how do I bounce back? I don't really want to be skinny again but I do want to lose weight but still eat normally.. sigh. I am starting to hear a lot of comments especially from my mom.. it honestly sucks. I work out for 30 mins a day and consume about 1500 calories a day. I do IF (12-8 eating window) Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advanced. [link] [comments] |
| Finally Beat my 2 week Plateau and have lost over 20 pounds now!! Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:42 PM PDT My highest weight in my life was 200 pounds, I'm 22F and I'm 5'3 so that's obese. I have pcos and insulin resistance as well so weight loss was so difficult sometimes it felt impossible. In April of 2019 I weighed 200 pounds after seeing that number I was devastated, but not enough to make a conscious effort. I unconsciously lost around 5 pounds without doing anything, but I think it was because I was taking a new medication that was a diuretic so I assumed those 5 pounds were water weight and ignored them. Nothing was enough to motivate me, I always thought I was going to have this sudden spurt of motivation and I'd be able to lose all the weight. Well that never happened. Last month on May 5th after I turned 22 I just got up that morning and worked out. On that day I didn't have random motivation or any burning desire I just did it and didn't think about it. I didn't commit to a plan or say I was going to workout everyday for a month, etc. I just decided to focus on now and do it. I started a paleo diet the same day, without committing to anything. After eating all my meals that day I found out sugar and carbs were the cause of me having nausea and headaches(because of my insulin resistance and pcos). So after that day it was easy to stick to paleo because the food I was eating didn't make me feel sick. On May 5th my official start date, I weighed 195 pounds. I had no idea I would stick to my plans or that I would be able to lose weight. Well today morning my weight was 173 pounds! I got down to 177 pounds about 2 weeks ago and went up and down from 177-180, for 2 whole weeks. But today I finally beat that and I'm so proud I stuck to my goals! I know for some people making a plan and sticking to it works best for them. But for me if I made a plan, I would find reasons to stray from it if anything went wrong in my day. So not making a plan worked for me. I guess the moral of my story and how I started my journey was to not wait for motivation, because sometimes it won't ever come. Now I have no problem with motivation, seeing how happy my endocrinologist was this week when I saw her, is my motivation to be down to 162 pounds by August(hopefully sooner). After I hit 162 I'm going to be working towards 140 and keep going till I'm at 110/105 pounds. I hope someone reads this and gets something from it. I don't really have anyone to celebrate with so I'm sharing this here! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:43 PM PDT I just want to thank all of you who post on this subreddit. Its been one month since I've started trying to lost weight and today I hit my first milestone of ten pounds from 137 -> 127. I'm (5ft 4in) still far from my goal (which is to lose my belly fat) I know its the last to go so I'm in it for the long haul. But anyways, whenever I feel unmotivated or in a slump, I come onto this reddit to soak up positivity and it really helps me press forward so thank you all! I want to share my experience to help out those who are having a hard time losing weight during the lock down. I live and take care of my 95 year old grandma so I take lock down very seriously. I haven't stepped foot out my front door since april? Can't even remember when lock down started. I order all my groceries online and don't take walk because I just can't take the risk. Anyways, here was my exercise and diet plans. Diet Brunch: Lunch: Dinner: *drank lots of water, no snacks in between meals, and no sweets at all. Note: Excercise This ones interesting. Biking didn't feel like it helped as much as I wanted it to? I have a stationary bike at home and I biked 60min everyday which the machine says is 600 calories. As I got bored I switched to doing those pamela reif workouts, the 10/15 high intensity sweaters once a day, and I achieved the same weekly weight loss as biking. So, thats 50min of my life back! Hope this information helps anyone out there whether its a diet worth trying or exercise worth doing. Will post again when I hit another milestone! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:25 PM PDT Just wanted to vent a little. I've been eating great and exercising regularly. I'm positive my CI<CO. However, for the last week I've been gaining weight. I was supposed to have my period around this time but I've been postponing it with a "temporary pill" to ensure I won't have my next period on vacation . My own hormones + all the stuff in the medicine is really hitting hard. I haven't been gaining much and I know it's waterweight but it is very demotivating to see the scale go up while doing great. For now, I've decided to stop weighing myself until I've had my period. When I've had my period I expect my hormones to balance out again. I'm hoping for a nice bit of weightloss after. Stay motivated lovelies, hormones can be challenging! [link] [comments] |
| CICO may be true but it can be hard to believe Posted: 25 Jun 2020 07:55 PM PDT For background, I'm 5'11 46M tipping the scales at 274. Periodically I've tried to lose weight, but after a while I give up. Why do I give up? Because it feels like I only get results if I starve. CICO should apply, but it seems to take so long to work that I get disheartened and give up. I'm trying right now, so I'll relate where I'm at. Started a month ago at 282. Climbed up on the wagon and set my limit at 2000 kcal. Not trying to set the world on fire here, just induce a nice gentle weight loss of perhaps as much as 1 lb/week that I can sustain indefinitely (because this time around, I'm committed -- I'm not dieting, I'm just eating differently from this point forward). That should work out okay. NIH's body weight planner thinks I have to eat ~3000C to maintain. That almost seems on the low side; pre-COVID, I typically grabbed a sausage mcmuffin with egg, hash brown, and medium Dr Pepper from McD's on the way to the office. Cha-ching, 850 calories! Food cart for lunch, unknown calories but I'd be surprised if it was ever under 1000. And dinner. Usually I'd eat too much, feel overfull, chastise myself for constantly eating more than I needed, and then do it all over again the next day. Knowning what I do now about what 2000 kcal looks like, I was eating quite a lot more. So here I am today. 274. Yay! Progress. After one month. Weight hasn't budged in a full week. And I mostly don't feel hungry during the day. That's worrisome. I've gotten a pretty good, dialed in meal plan for the first couple meals a day, that carries me all the way to dinner on just under 1000 Calories. I like the flexibility having 1000 to spend on dinner by itself. Before you ask, I am weighing everything. EVERYTHING. I don't so much as lick my fingers, everything that goes down the hatch gets put on my scale first, and recorded down to the gram. Whether the food is prepackaged or not. Whether it's a meal I've made every day for a month or not. So I feel pretty confident when I say I'm averaging 1825 Calories per day. At my size, I should be feeling pretty hungry at 1825 Cal, and losing faster than my intended 1 pound a week. And yet, it has stalled. Again. Like every other time. But I'll stick with it this time, because why not, I am making a life change either way, even if I don't lose another pound. But I'll tell ya, I'll be sad if that happens because I'm carrying around 100 extra pounds I'd prefer to stop lugging up the damn stairs. Rant over, thanks for listening. Sorry I had to use a throwaway, I post a fair amount on Reddit but prefer to keep personal things personal. [link] [comments] |

| Which caloric deficit do I follow? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 10:31 PM PDT Hi! 5'2"F, 135 lbs here. Hoping to get down to 120 lbs by losing 1-2 lbs a week. I downloaded MyFitnessPal and after logging my info, it put me at 1200 calories a day (1350 if I'm just trying to lose 1 lb a week). I've been following this so far, but I almost always find myself starving with this amount of calories. However, I've also seen advice from dieticians online that the caloric deficit should be with respect to your BMR. Since I work out 5x a week but am only lightly active throughout the rest of the day, my BMR was placed somewhere around 1500-1600 calories to lose weight. I've only been on the MyFitnessPal caloric deficit for a week and I've lost 1 lb but again, it comes at the cost of slight starvation. Should I just get accustomed to this 1200 caloric deficit or switch to the 1500-1600 one, which is based on my BMR? Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:57 AM PDT I started in late 2018, starting weight was 240lbs - I am 5'2 so I was very obese! Within 6 months I lost 60lbs which was great. The next 7 months was a struggle, I lost a further 10lbs but obviously I could have done much better if I was consistent. I was trying to stay on track but I ended up having a lot of cheat days. In hindsight I am okay with it as I still lost weight which is a win for me considering I used to struggle with binge eating. I got super motivated at the beginning of this year and from then I have lost 35lbs. I have went from 240 to 135! The drop from 170 to 135 was so hard... much harder than the drop from 240 to 180. I have been so strict and consistent. However, the past 5 weeks have been a serious struggle. I am finding it harder and harder to eat in a deficit. My motivation is slowly disappearing and I feel a little fed up and burn out. I am considering taking an intentional diet break for 1 month and maintaining my current weight. However, the idea of intentionally not trying to lose makes me very nervous. Also, it means that I am going to reach my goal weight later but I do think it'll help me get motivated again. Has anyone ever had an intentional diet break? how did it go? would you recommend or is it a slippery slope? edit: FYI I am not struggling to lose weight so it's not a plateau issue, this is more psychological for me but I am also feeling more tired these days and less motivated.

| How much of a difference to those last 10lbs make? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 02:48 PM PDT Hello all, I lost 60 pounds and my goal was to go 10 more. I know there is no rush, but It is still unsettling to see the scale drop 1 pound a week, then one week it doesn't drop at all, compared to my extremely fast 3lb a week weight loss when I first started. I can think of some reasons why it's harder, such as not logging things like 3 tablespoons of 20 calorie coffee creamer, allowing myself to have more cheat days, etc. I tend to be an emotional eater and even though I lost 60 pounds, I still "feel" fat. So, who can help motivate me? As someone who can't ncessarily judge how they look in the mirror due to body dysmorphia, how noticeable really is 10lbs of fat loss? [link] [comments] |
| Gained over 100lbs and feelin so hopeless Posted: 25 Jun 2020 09:06 PM PDT So long story short. I used to weight 180lbs max. Life was good, i felt good looked good. Moved out at 16 and on my own. Discovered eating pizza n bad food at night made me feel happy/good. Did that for a couple years and its just gotten bad. I now weight 274lbs at 23. I hate my life. Weight gain has brought on so many bad things - Anxiety, depression. I feel out of breath all the time. The worst part is when i go to visit my family in my old town, I avoid going out because I am scared of someone seeing me and saying something. Ive ran into a few old friends and the first thing is omg your huge. If that, sometimes ill be there and they don't even know it is me because how different I look. I need to lose this weight, its going to/has already ruined my life. I am throwing away the best years of my life to this stupidity. I feel so fucking awful ever making fun of someones weight, like that haunts me now and its mad karma. Either way, I need to lose this weight. I have tried eating healthy blah blah and nothing. I fall back to oh one pizza is ok. Its not. And im a fucking mess. Idk what i am looking for out of this post but I just need my life back. As I am writting this I am feeling commited. I am just done with how things are and I have started calorie counting. I did a 10 minute workout at home tonight but it sucks because I can't go to the gym now. I am just wondering how anyone my age and my weight made it? I mean how did you just stick with it and lose weight. Its a hard thing, you gain it nice and easy but losing it is the hardest thing I have ever imagined. I know losing weight is going to help me mentally and I need that. I just need to be my old self because the new person I have become makes me sick. I hate looking in the mirror and I need to do this. How did you do it? Sorry for the vent but it has just been the worst 4 years of my life. I am fucking ready to take control. [link] [comments] |
| 30 Day Accountability Challenge - Day 25 Posted: 25 Jun 2020 04:40 PM PDT Hello losers, We're making it! Weight by end of month (200 lbs, preferably trend weight): No weigh in this morning, 201.5 trend weight. Stay within calorie range (1500 ish): Should be good today. I've got leftover taco meat & cauliflower mac to try. Exercise 5 days a week: 30 minute lunch walk & a short HIIT plus yoga tonight. 21/25 days. Self-care time (journaling, working on love journals, beauty treatments, drawing 0/25 days): Ordered some coffee for my favorite kitchen appliance. Try a new recipe once a week: Curried chickpeas from dry beans, chickpea flour crepes (I helped, it counts), new recipe breakfast burritos, red sauce from semi scratch (canned tomatoes) & black-eyed pea soup so far. 5/5 weeks. 50 pages of The Body Keeps the Score: Not tonight. 0/50 pages. No fast food or candy from the work dish: Day 23. 4 candy related lapses in judgement. Listen to my effing body: Feeling ready to take over the free world. Be more mindful & express gratitude, avoid the hedonic treadmill: I didn't feel the urge to drown myself in fried chicken until like 4 o'clock today & for that I am grateful. Your turn!

| Where to even start? It always feels pointless.. Posted: 26 Jun 2020 01:38 AM PDT Hi everyone, at this point I'm reaching out to everyone and hopefully someone can help me start down the path to lose weight. I'm a 19 year old male, who weighs somewhere between 270 and 280, and I'm 6'2. I would put my precise weight but I unfortunately don't have a scale. My entire life my parents and family have told me "You're not fat you're tall" and other things but ive always felt fat. Yeah I'm tall, but I'm wide too and I want that to stop. I tried doing Keto for awhile because a few close family members had great success with it, but it didn't ever stick. I felt hungry all the time still. My main problem is I don't ever feel, well full I guess. I'm young and stupid, so at times I'll eat a lot to try and impress people or for some other stupid reason. Sorry if this is long, I'm just trying to put everything I can out there for any possible help. Please if there is any advice you can give, I would be incredibly appreciative. [link] [comments] |
| I FEEL BOTH BLOATED AND HUNGRY Posted: 26 Jun 2020 01:10 AM PDT For the past 3 months I was doing good with my weight loss journey, being able to lose 10 kg/22 pounds. But then, out of nowhere I was stuck in a depressive episode that lasted for a month, which made me overeat and in the span of a month I gained 7 kg/15.4 pounds back. I keep trying to go back to my diet, but I ALWAYS FEEL BLOATED AND HUNGRY AT THE SAME TIME. It's the kind of hungry where it's painful and can't be avoided. What do I do???? I'm starting to experience acid reflux again, something I haven't felt since I was morbidly obese 2 years ago and I'm afraid I'm going back to that trajectory. [link] [comments] |
| Should I be less restrictive with what I eat while trying to maintain? Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:07 PM PDT I am maintaining a low weight after losing over 100lbs. I am on the low end of healthy for BMI, but right now I do not want to gain and I'm okay with my body the way it is, even though I still don't have the abs that I wanted. I am very disciplined and controlled with what food I can eat and what I can't. I would say a good 95% of food is off limits to me. I also do not eat food other people make or eat out due to not being able to calorie count exactly. Every calorie I consume has to be logged and tracked otherwise I get bad anxiety. I haven't eaten any "junk food" in like a year. I avoid all processed carbs and sugars. I am vegan so I also do not eat meat and dairy. I basically live off vegetables, beans and tofu. I keep having cravings for unhealthy food and it's making me feel really guilty. I don't intend to ever stop being vegan but I'm wondering if all this restriction is stopping me from leading a full life. Is relaxing a good idea? If so what would be the best way to go about it? I'm worried about letting myself go and gaining weight. [link] [comments] |
